On Thursday I head to Atlantic City for the WSOP Circuit Event at Harrah’s. Looking forward to playing some live poker and meeting up with everyone from TPE…members and pros alike. TTwist, RonFezBuddy and bigdogpckt5s will be in town crushing the events (good game field). Rumor has it we might see a Wein appearance as well!! I have a packed schedule. I get in on Thursday and will be playing the $80+20 at the Borgata that evening. Friday I’ll be playing the $170+30 at the Borgata. If you have not played at the Borgata, i suggest checking it out. Structures are always pretty good, good turnouts and its a really nice poker room. Then the WSOPC starts on Saturday and I will be playing the first 5 events (3 of them are ring events). I’ll be tweeting regular updates so [More...]

Been a while since I have blogged to figured I had better knock one out. Between playing and working on TPE things have been so busy I’ve had little time for anything else. TPE has been amazing. Super proud of the podcast we have created and think it will only get better with time. The feedback has been amazing and to hear people say things like, “the best poker podcast” is really rewarding. If you have not already checked it out, here is a link: http://www.tournamentpokeredge.com/podcasts/ And tell a friend! As for poker, things have not been great but not terrible either. I’m on about a 50 buy-in downswing at the average buy-in tournaments I play.

I’ve been asked several times how I’ve got started in poker. I figure this would be a great way to just get it all out there.
